Chapter 2

All Spartan Fours were dismissed from duty until after dinner. This was to give them time to adjust to the Infinity. It was a pointless action, because the Infinity was about three miles long, and would take several days to look around.

I spent my time in my quarters reading the data files on Noble. Most current entries were classified. The only information I could find was about the original Noble. They were a high priority squad on Reach; they delivered the AI Cortana to The Pillar of Autumn. All members were listed to be KIA on Reach, except for Noble 4, Jun, who retired due to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

I also went to the S4 Armory to receive my new armor for Noble. I was given black Wetwork Spec. Armor with a built in camouflage generator, mechanical silencers, and a dock for a Tier 4 smart AI.

''What's with the AI dock? Aren't these reserved for shipboard AIs?'' I turned to the technician assigned to my station. Every Spartan was given an armor station and technician because putting on the armor was a difficult task.

''I'm not sure; I received orders to install it on your armor. Also you have been given the permission to customize the armor fully.'' I turned to the terminal beside my armor and looked over a screen of armor modifications.

''Well, just replace the visor to the midnight shade, and add contoured armor plates to the forearms and legs.'' The technician nodded and entered a command on his dock. Soon enough three more technicians came back and started working on the armor.

''Chief Petty Officer McKay,'' Palmer's voice echoed over the ships communication system, ''Please report to med bay 6.''

''Your armor will be ready when you get back.'' I nodded to the technician and walked to the troop transport that shuttled troops from one part of the Infinity to another. When I got in I overheard two ODSTs talking.

''They say Halsey has been put in UNSC Military prison.'' The other ODST grunted and cursed the Doctor's name, ''What's more, they say that we found the Master Chief.'' I turned at this and the ODST nodded at me.

''Now we can see how the Fours measure up.''
